TL;DR

The Illinois side of the I-74 bridge over the Mississippi River, which has been out of use for several years, is set to be demolished using controlled explosives. The demolition is one of the final stages of the removal process, and pieces from the bridge will be recycled or donated to a local museum. The main navigation channel of the river will be closed for 24 hours, and surrounding areas will be closed for 72 to give time for cleanup.
